Is this hormonal behaviour?

[Taw5106]

I've stood my ground with Venus who comes at me blazing but at the last second shuts down and acts a little miffed, but friendly like "Hi, how are you?", but she has an agenda. Husband told me I'm crazy for getting in her face, but I do, nicely. I'm hoping this will pass piecefully, last year we didn't have this issue but we had just brought her home.

...My gut says: It's probably better if they have a healthy outlet for it, and just get it out of their system.

Yeah, this thought resonates for me. There are quite a few hardwired natural behaviors that do well with an outlet. I think in this case it's just a matter of carefully observing your bird until you get a sense of where he/she falls on the hormonal reaction spectrum.

Lila doesn't act miffed... That's what makes it so funny!

She acts confused.

So, I didn't even scare you a little bit that time... ?

Nope.

But that was my BEST scary bird act. What do I do now?
